Do you think its easy coming up with all of these amazing creative titles for your enjoyment?
My short span on this earth has so far, contained one amazing vacation -- Alaska. I can wholeheartedly say that this two week span in Belize is on par if not a tad above the Alaskan vacation. And let me tell you why.

By sea, by land, by air, by tram

After flying over 3,372 miles, walking over 40 miles, burning about 10% of my skin, eating 10 lbs (or so it seems) of rice (with or without beans), and assisting ~200 patients, it was time to, for the last time, pack my suitcase and go back home. But of course, not without a few (fun) bumps along the way.

I kissed a shark, and I liked it, hope my stingray don't mind it

Ugh. Waking up at 4am in the morning is never fun. Especially when it is raining. Especially when you are about to leave people who have become your family after a short period of time. ESPECIALLY, when you know you are going to be starting school in a short number of days and your days in Mother Nature's Best Kept Secret are numbered.

Op Op Op, Indiana Jones Style
If you're up for swimming and climbing through close to 1000ft of cave, then Actun Tunichil Muknal is one tour that will make your trip to Belize outstanding. The caving part of the tour takes you through a subterranean river, over (and under) more than a few rocks and into the main chamber. ATM is the most popular tour in the San Ignacio area and is an experience of a lifetime.
SLOW TORNADO, SLOW TORNADO
So while doing Punta with the Punta King on Saturday, the last song we learned was "Slow Tornado" which is extremely catchy and was pretty fun. I just found a video of the King dancing to the song, so I thought it warranted a watch.
If the song does not get stuck in your head...you need to rethink your live choices.
Well the first song is Tornado, I have no idea what the other one is.
Leave a comment and let me know!

Seven Miles, and then some

When we were still learning about the course and what we would be doing in Belize, I was very excited about doing house visits, because it seemed like an even greater direct patient care experience. After finishing all our clinics and then learning we would actually do house visits for the whole day (or so we thought), I was very excited.

Taking it Easy

So its been a week since we have been in Belize (just go with it, okay?), and our clinics are mostly done and so is all of our hard work; now we are about to embark on the 'fun' week, a week where we can just take mental pictures and videos of the ambiance and surrounding areas, which will travel with us for the rest of our lives and service us when we most need it - right before exams.
Before we could get to that though, we had to teach elementary school kids about a variety of topics -- Hepatitis A, head lice, proper hand hygiene, and teeth brushing.
